Hello,
I want to remove unwanted text "(35-11)" from BF:BF. I have the following macro, but it doesn't work.
Thank you.

VBA Code:
Sub Test()
    
    Sheets("TeamRankings").Select 'Teamrankings
    'vs Rank
        Application.ScreenUpdating = False
        lastRow = Cells.Find("(", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
        For Each Rng In Range("BF3:BF" & lastRow)
            If InStr(Rng, "(") > 0 Then
                Rng = Mid(Rng, 1, WorksheetFunction.Find("(", Rng) - 2) 'rid of extra space
            End If
        Next Rng
        Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

Excel Facts

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
You could use the Find/Replace dialog for that. Select the data, then Ctrl+H, enter:

(*

(there's a space at the beginning) in the Find box, then leaving the Replace box empty, press Replace All.

Try
VBA Code:
                Rng.Value = Mid(Rng, 1, WorksheetFunction.Find("(", Rng) - 2) 'rid of extra space

Solution
In addition to Fluff's needed change, you may also want to change this row:
VBA Code:
lastRow = Cells.Find("(", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
to this:
VBA Code:
LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "BF").End(xlUp).Row
so it runs specifically against column BF.

I incorporated your change in addition to Fluff's.
